I just saw Quantum of Solace and had this idea but I don't know where to go with it. I was going to make this a story challenge but no dice…..the story is in my head so I will do my best to write it….this takes place after Quantum of Solace.

PLEASE NOTE: Ali Larter is the name of an actress but i just like the name so i spell it with a Y and the character bear no resemblance or relation to the actress

Disclaimer: Do NOT own James Bond but I really wish owned Daniel Craig….

She was running for her life. Her breathing heavy as her sneakers pounded down the road. Her blue eyes wide with fear and her black hair streaming behind her.

The one chasing her started firing...maybe he was a bad shot or missing on purpose but Aly was too scared to care as the bullets whizzed by her, missing by inches. But there was a problem:as scared as she was, she was getting tired. The road was empty and she had no hope for a rescue.

Suddenly she heard the squeal of tires nearby and a gray Aston Martin pulled up beside her. The door opened and her eyes met of pair of ice blue ones.

"Get in" he told her. She froze in a moment of indecision looking between the man running towards her with a gun and the complete stranger in a car. She chose the car and the moment the door was closed the car was moving faster than she realized a car could. The one chasing her started firing at the car. The man driving maintained an icy calm until they were far enough away. Then he took a moment to glance over at her.

"So people are putting out kill orders for children now?" his voice was quiet, calm and precise.

"I'm not a child, I'm fourteen." She told him. The side of his lip twitched but he didn't respond.

"So who are you and why did you save me?"

"Those are my orders." he stated

"and what's your name?" Aly asked as they reached a red light and he brought the car to a smooth stop

"James Bond" he told her extending a hand for her to shake. She stared at the hand for a moment. It was hard and callused. Then she tentatively took his hand and shook it

"I'm Aly Larter" she told him.

"Well its very nice to meet you" he said politely, but it was undercut by that same lip twitch. It wasn't a smile but it seemed like he was quietly amused by her. She wanted to protest to that but Aly was more than a little intimidated by him.

So they sat in silence as the Aston Martin drove smoothly through the night.
